#Introductory Fragment — The Weight Beyond the Table
The clerk wrote the name, type, owner, condition, and curse, one row each. The table was tidy. Sword and spear and armor came in at a glance, and it was plain which document to open.
"Good." said the GM. "Now we need only decide who takes this away."
The clerk's brush halted. "The table has no column for that."
A player laughed. "Then since my character is the strongest, may he just take it?"
The clerk looked at the empty blank space of the table. Until just now all the organized information had seemed sufficient, yet suddenly the most important thing seemed to be missing. "No. We must find not the strong person, but the person who can bear this condition."
The GM nodded. "That is why a table is needed. Not to give the answer, but to shorten the time of asking it."
That day the table did not stand in for the choice. Instead it revealed, more quickly, which choice was irresponsible.

#Connection with the Swordmaster Sheets
The mapping of the swordmasters of fc03-99-01-kenshi-roster.md with this volume's weapons.
| Swordmaster | A well-matched masterwork | This volume's note |
|---|---|---|
| Miyamoto Musashi | Musashi-no-Nito (Spirit Realm) | §01-02 |
| Yagyu Munenori | Yagyu Shinkage-ryu Wooden Sword | §02-04 |
| Sasaki Kojiro | Monohoshizao (a long katana — co or new) | — |
| Tsukahara Bokuden | a variant of the Jigen-ryu Master Sword | §02-04 |
| Ito Ittosai | Itto-ryu License + a masterwork katana | §02-04 |
Caution: A swordmaster's school techniques and a masterwork weapon's techniques are separate slots. Do not transcribe a school technique into a weapon technique.
#Handling of Name Variants
This volume's notation principle when the same weapon appears under a different name depending on era·literature.
| Representative name | Alternate name | This volume's notation |
|---|---|---|
| Hizamaru | Kumokiri (蜘蛛切), Hoemaru (吼丸), Usumidori (薄綠) | This volume sets Hizamaru as the main name and notes the alternate names within the same entry. However, Usumidori is a separate entry — it treats the transformation at Yoshitsune's time. |
| Kogarasumaru | Kogarasu-zukuri (小烏造) | This volume uses Kogarasumaru. Kogarasu-zukuri is the name of a blade-school of double-edged (兩刃) form. |
| Masamune | Masamune (swordsmith name), Honjo Masamune (sword name), Fudo Masamune (sword name), Masamune (正宗, abbreviated kanji) | This volume separates by noting (swordsmith) / (sword name) / (blade school). In casual writing, the short notation Masamune is ambiguous as to whether it refers to the swordsmith·sword·blade school. |
| Muramasa | Muramasa clan (a swordsmith family), Muramasa blade (a sword in general) | This volume uses the Muramasa blade (刀) notation when referring to a single sword. |
| Toshiro | Yagen Toshiro, Namazuo Toshiro, Atsushi Toshiro | This volume separates them into distinct entries. Even works of the same swordsmith (Awataguchi Yoshimitsu or Awataguchi Toshiro) are not merged into a single bundle. |
